Talk4this wiki
Added by Drake ClawfangRunic (魔封剣, Mafūken?, lit. "Magic-Sealing Sword"), also known as Magic Thwart or Attune Blade, identified as Runic Blade in the dialogue of Final Fantasy VI, is a recurring ability in the series. It generally nullifies most, if not all, magic-based attacks and allows the user to restore MP equal to the MP cost of the spell cast.

Final Fantasy VIEdit
Runic is Celes Chere's ability in Final Fantasy VI. This ability allows Celes to absorb spells with her sword. When she uses Runic, the next spell cast by an ally or an enemy is absorbed by Celes's sword, and she recovers an amount of MP equal to the casting cost of the spell. If the spell is of an element Celes is weak to, the MP recovery doubles. If Celes resists that element, the MP recovery is halved. If Celes is immune to that element, she does not recover MP. If she absorbs the element, she loses MP. Runic does not absorb spells auto-cast from weapons, such as how Ragnarok sometimes casts Flare. If Celes absorbs a party member's spell, the base cost will be absorbed, regardless of whether or not the caster has a Celestriad or Gold Hairpin equipped.
The Runic ability can only be used when a weapon compatible with the ability is equipped. Besides the swords, there are other weapons than those Celes can equipped that can enable Runic. All daggers, all spears, all katanas, and the Magus Rod can enable Runic. The secret character Gogo may also use the Runic command if equipped with an applicable weapon.
The creation materials state that Runic's power comes directly from the esper magic channeled through her sword.
